Thank you for the post, your last line sums it up well and should be headed.

You need to find counsel after learning something about the specific black letter law, case law and jury instruction. If not and your council is part of the 99%, you could end up in the penitentiary based on a flawed defense strategy. Many have. Its not that council is incompetent, it’s just that affirmative defense is a whole other ball of wax and conventional strategies will fail after the damage is done. Affirmative defense, in all 50 states, is completely different from the rest of the penal code and involves a shift of the burden of proof from prosecution to you. It’s mission critical that you can tell if council knows or not. If words like ‘accident’ are mentioned, run, don’t walk away. They won’t go to prison, you will.
